CENTERVILLE, Wis. – The owners of the Toad’s Cove convenience store that was destroyed by fire last week, Andy and Tracy Todd, re-opened their adjacent car wash – and also the stand-alone dog-wash. The store itself is a total loss. The car fueling pumps out front appear operable and the goal is to open them to customers soon, Andy said. The diesel pumps for trucks on the side of the building also weren’t touched by the inferno. Nor was a propane tank by the store’s office. It may be possible to restore car and truck refueling in a few weeks, but a schedule for rebuilding the store is an open question, he said. The hope, he said, is to rebuild.
